Fighting Workplace Discrimination

Posted on Jan 27, 2015 12:45pm PST

All
employees are protected from workplace discriminationby federal and state law. For example, California residents are protected
by both the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and the Federal Civil Rights
Act of 1991. If you feel that you may have been the victim of any type
of workplace discrimination, you have the right to contact a labor law
attorney for advice regarding employment law. An employment discrimination
lawyer in San Jose can determine whether the discriminatory actions you
have suffered are illegal.

In the event that you've been the victim of discriminatory actions
such as those based on age, gender, religion, race, sexual orientation,
disability, or marital status, your labor law attorney can file a claim
on your behalf. Many people hesitate to file a discrimination claim out
of fear of retaliation. However, retaliation for reporting or objecting
to discrimination is also illegal. In fact, evidence of retaliation can
serve to substantiate your claim of discrimination.
